Connecting Europe with Turkey and preferred holiday destinations, Corendon Airlines continues to make its presence felt through its support of sports and athletes.

KAE Panathinaikos, which has… transported hundreds of athletes to medals and titles, “flew” with Corendon Airlines for the match against FC Barcelona, ​​(3/11, 21:30). This historic partnership, starting with the Barcelona away game, will continue in various destinations across Europe throughout the 2023-2024 basketball season.

Gift exchange

To commemorate the first flight that took place as part of the agreement that brings basketball and the aviation industry together, a gift exchange ceremony was held between the captains of both sides. Our team captain, Dinos Mitoglou (due to the absence of Kostas Sloukas) donated a jersey to the Corendon Airlines pilot, who, in return, offered him a Corendon Airlines model aircraft as a gift.
